The new Mac's Pizza Pub location at 2920 Montgomery Road, a little north of Fields Ertel in the Landen neighborhood of Deerfield Township, should open by mid-June.

Formerly Tabby's restaurant and bar, the building is 5,000 square feet, bigger than the Mac's restaurants in Clifton Heights and on the Fairfax-Mariemont border. The new location will have a large outdoor patio that flows into a sand volleyball court (with beach toys for kids when games aren't being played), plus large glass garage doors to open on nice days.

Mac Ryan and Josh Freid, Mac's corporate chef and a veteran of Jeff Ruby's and Embers, co-own the new location.

In the build-out, they've used lots of reclaimed materials: whiskey barrels from Barton Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky, comprise the sign for the front of the building; wood from Lenhardt's/Christy's, which was torn down in Clifton, was used to make some of the tables. That repurposing, along with LED lighting, help make the restaurant more environmentally friendly, which is important to Ryan.

Other highlights of the new location will be trivia and other themed nights, plus free slushies for kids in the summer.

When it opens, the new location will serve lunch and dinner and be open late Friday and Saturday nights. The menu will be mostly the same as the other restaurants, with pizzas, "macovers," salads and more than 100 beers.
